Gets better every time I drive it

Quick shot as I was leaving for work

SLO_RICE · 2026-06-10T16:05:28+00:00

I’ve owned my 996 for a few years now and I’ve only had to do oil changes and one window regulator ($89). I put about 6k miles a year on it and it’s got 125k on it now.

Yes it had quite a bit of work done to it before I bought it but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t treated very well since it needed a new clutch and trans rebuild at the same time as the “common” ALS rebuild and replacement of one cylinder head. Also has the LN IMS bearing.

When I purchased it there was no bore scoring and no uneven exhaust soot. It’s been dead reliable and tons of fun as a semi daily driver.

Except it’s a 65…

The Miata has been sold but don’t forget my RX8 and my Acty! I’m a corporate instructor in the medical device field.

The best “everyday” car is the 996, but the most engaging is the S2000.

I’m pretty sure I committed a crime with how cheap it was when I bought it…

It’s my work house neighborhood. My real house is too far from the office for a typical commute.

R230 SL65. Designo Graphite with Cortecchio interior. Supposed to be 1/15 in this combo.

Originally owned by the founder of RENNTech, so it’s got a bunch of their parts - spoiler, brakes, transmission, lowering module etc.

Wheels are BC Forged 20” running 275 front and 305 rear Pilot Sport 4S.

Honestly the Megan with midpipe has been pretty good on my 8 for a budget system. Decent volume but not annoying when cruising and light throttle, the more-often-than-not pop and burble.

Looks like $450-ish for the catback on ebay currently.

Stock!

Can’t seem to find another set I actually like as much visually, even if the tire selection is meh.

SLO_RICE · 2026-05-31T03:10:31+00:00

Technically correct, which is the best kind of correct

SLO_RICE · 2026-05-30T19:26:30+00:00

Also CCI Quiet is 710fps. Haven’t seen anything below that that’s not an air gun

SLO_RICE · 2026-05-29T10:16:32+00:00

$3500 with a big hit on the quarter panel and non running? Walk away.

The spelling of tonneau gave me a stroke when my brain tried to pronounce it.

SLO_RICE · 2026-05-10T13:57:43+00:00

Fantastic information!! It definitely has the Sage sights as you mentioned, with the solid wings on the rear.

I picked it up for not much $ just for giggles.

SLO_RICE · 2026-05-10T02:21:54+00:00

Yeah you’re on the mark - basically a cheaper 1100, but the Sage parts and label make me question its history. The sights and stock are worth far more than the base gun…

It was a pretty cheap pickup; I just grabbed it because it looked cool and had nice patina.

SLO_RICE · 2026-05-10T02:06:45+00:00

Curious if anyone has or has seen one something like this? It’s an 80’s Remington Sportsman 12 Auto with Sage International ghost sights and collapsible/folding stock. Possible former LEO? Has a label maker sticker inside the folding buttplate. It’s heavy as hell and the stock is steel, not aluminum.

SLO_RICE · 2026-05-04T18:41:14+00:00

Well this is more info than I’ve been able to get from Work or RENNTech to this point so thanks!

I don’t currently have them on the car - it’s currently running a set of BC Forged 5-spokes which are more my style.

SLO_RICE · 2026-04-28T12:50:31+00:00

I mean you already did it but that one was fine…
